Spec ops: the line is like 5 hours long, I think I finished it in two sittings. It's so short it's one of the few games I actually have finished

No one plays just cause 2 for the story, so you'll probably never get around to beating it

The DLC's bring a lot of time into it! But yeah still 30 hours max i think (I have 70 because I was addicted)

That's at least 150+ hours of content. I just can't justify spending more when I have that much to play plus what I already had in backlog.

Even if you are completionist, I can't see Infinite taking longer than 15 hours

hmm.... didn't realize they were this short.

57 Seconds on Super Hexagon I hate this game.

I've beat hexagon hexagoner and hexagonest.

Can only get to like 40 on hyper hexagon

Sniper elite III is pretty fun, love the Slo-Mo sniper shots

OK, so Race the Sun might be the most infuriating but fun game I have played in awhile.

I want to share the joy, so, if I have you on Steam, let me know what 2 main colors of the shirt I am wearing are and I will send you a copy

tanstalas · Post Post #1107 (ISO) » Mon Jul 28, 2014 4:45 pm

just ordered 2 of these, one for myself and one for a B-day present.

So. Much. Want.

been playing some multiplayer games with matchmaking (CSGO). It's been fun, and I'll often get some cool teammates, but there's definitely enough racist, homophobic stuff to make things occasionally suck. I never know what to do in those situations. Nobody wants to hear a shrill lecture or anything, but I hate to just leave it out there like I think that's just okay.

tanstalas · Post Post #1109 (ISO) » Mon Jul 28, 2014 5:31 pm

I'll play with you, Zora!

Do I haz you on Steam?

(need to DL it again)

Just started the wolf among us and oh my god.

Tell-tale Games really know how to make adventure games. All captivating and shit.

finished specops: the line. 17 hours long... It was like Heart of Darkness the video game. Excellent story. The gameplay could have been a touch refined, but overall 8/10.

It was quoted as an inspiration by the developers, good pick up.

17 hours how the hell did you get 17 hours out of it
I suck at FPSes and I didn't get 10 xD

Sorry, it was 14. Again, I took my time and played on the hardest difficulty for half the game. Then I got annoyed by the bad choice of key bindings so I toned it down. I also got more than half of the intel and listened to all of it (probably added 30 mins to the game).

So a friend gave me kerbal space program. I see my life slowly drifting away.

CooLDoG · Post Post #1121 (ISO) » Sat Aug 02, 2014 1:47 am

Okay, kerbal space program is one of the best game ever. I'm doing to career mode so I can build my ships progressively and learn all of the parts. Now I'm in the planning stages of my first mood landing.

Yes it is.

I'm doing to career mode so I can build my ships progressively and learn all of the parts. Now I'm in the planning stages of my first mood landing.

Land on Minmus first. It's scary because it's farther away and because it has a small inclination, but the distance actually really makes very little difference to the delta-v, and the inclination is easy to deal with. Minmus has much less gravity so it takes less delta-v to land on (This more than compensates for the tiny bit extra delta-v it takes to get there) and also you can use a rocket with less thrust.

In KSP I'm currently planning a Jool mission (Unmanned). It's going to leave a satellite and a probe lander on each moon, for a total of 11 (2*5 moons + 1 jool satellite) probes, but I have 13 just to be safe (Though one is specifically a Laythe lander. Also 13 isn't really "to be safe" even though the the satellite-depositing missions to Eve and Duna both required the backups which I had intended for their moons, and more because it's 3 sets of 4x symmetry). Back in .235 (Before funds) I had manned landings+returns on every body other than Eve and the Joolian moons.

ooh KSP finally has career mode working?

there goes my weekend...

CooLDoG · Post Post #1124 (ISO) » Sun Aug 03, 2014 3:09 am

@who... I disagree with that being the best first shot. Predicated on the fact that I came into the game having little knowledge of celestial physics and just an interest cultivated in SPACE by an engineer dad who

was

is a space nut.

With that said, I think for a first landing Mun is a better approach for a noob like me. Higher gravity is a good thing as long as your final engine can escape the gravity of the Mun (mine can). This is due to the Pull of "Earth" and the fact that there is not atmosphere on Mun. I can escape the Mun easy, but landing on it is more difficult because it requires more accurate orbital calculations to get there. Higher gravity = more forgiving.

Now, this is all given the fact that the pull of the earth from minmus is further away and thus the relative gravity maybe greater on minmus because of this distance. But for now, I'm happy to try a Mun landing for historical reasons as well as the shit ton of contracts I have for it. Again, Career mode.

Yeah they have "contracts" now that you can complete for money and science. Pretty cool actually.
